MANA Group: The Best Advice You’ll Ever Read About Attitude

NEW YORK, NY, June 2014 –  To determine the current state of your attitude, ask yourself these questions:

How would you describe your attitude? Right now? In general?

What in your life is currently helping your attitude? What is hurting it?

How much do you let others impact your attitude?

If you keep your current attitude, where will it take you in five years?

If you could bottle and sell your attitude, would anyone want to buy it? How much would you get for it?

If your attitude isn’t stellar, you might think there’s nothing you can do about it. It might feel ‘built-in’ — like it’s part of your basic personality.

While it’s true that some people are inherently more positive than others, just like any other mind-set, developing a good attitude is something you can learn.

Here are some simple things you can do to strengthen your good attitude muscle:

1. Surround yourself with positive thinkers and shun those who are negative

Your brain automatically imitates the behaviors of the people around you.

2. Cultivate the ability to laugh at yourself

If you don’t laugh at yourself, others will do it for you!

3. Spend time in nature, listening to music, or any activity that feeds your spirit

Make time for more things that make you appreciate the world.

4. Spend time with pets and young people

Both are guaranteed to boost your mood.

5. Exercise

It’s one of the best ways to move to a better frame of mind.

6. Smile – even when you don’t feel like it

The act of smiling releases endorphins which make you feel better about everything, including yourself and your circumstances. “Fake it til you make it” actually works here.

7. Sit up. Stand straight. Uncross your arms. Make eye contact

Self-confident body language ‘tricks’ your brain into feeling more confident.

8. Help others

It will make them feel good, and it will make you feel good, too. If you don’t personally know anyone who needs a helping hand, volunteer.

9. Lastly, develop an ‘attitude of gratitude’

Gratitude has been said to be the healthiest of all human emotions.

Working at developing a good attitude is worth the effort. Few things will go as far as a good attitude to improve your health, your happiness, your relationships, your financial success, and even your longevity.
